THE Little Office of our Lady is one of the liturgical prayers of the Church ; and she imposes it on many of her children. For them it takes the place of that greater office known by the distinctive title of the Divine Office. Although the Little Office of our Lady is considerably shorter than the ever-varying Office which the clergy and religious of both sexes in solemn vows have to say, yet, coming as it does from the same authority which regulates and prescribes its use, it is as much a liturgical prayer as the other, and has the same claims to be considered as part of the public official worship which the mystical Spouse of Christ, the Church, daily offers to her Divine Head.
